The global energy market has undergone dramatic changes over the past few years and the rapid evolution of the energy system is creating new opportunities and challenges for business leaders, consumers and governments alike. The industry is at a crossroads, contemplating its future directions as it faces the dual challenges of delivering energy competitively and sustainably over the coming decades.

The geopolitics of oil and gas – what will energy security look like over the next decade?

Tuesday 26th February

Since the industrial revolution, the geopolitics of energy has been a driving factor in global security and prosperity. Over the coming decades, global energy and geopolitical scenarios will continue to change, as those working in the energy sector continue to navigate the ever-evolving political landscape.

The global energy system is facing a dual challenge. Providing much more energy while significantly reducing emissions. The 2019 Energy Outlook considers the future of global energy demand by exploring the forces shaping the energy transition out to 2040.
This one-hour breakfast briefing, followed by a moderated discussion, will give delegates an opportunity to understand some of the important factors shaping energy markets, including the risks and uncertainties.

The new era for energy in a changing world

Wednesday 27th February

The Paris Agreement was signed on Dec 12, 2015, with the objective of defining a new era in the global response to climate change. The same year, the UN Sustainable Development Goals set a new aspiration for addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges. With the global energy industry seen as critical both to efforts to alleviate the worst impacts of climate change and to raising economic standards in many of the world’s poorest countries, how are companies responding?

Climate risk and sustainability: managing tension between sustainability demands and operational, business return

Social and corporate governance: maintaining the social license to operate

The bulk of emissions derive from our demand for energy. The largest contributor is carbon dioxide, emitted when fossil fuels are burnt to meet those demands. To limit the most damaging impacts of climate change, we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally. Change will involve a combination of new technologies, processes and human behaviour. There will also be a need to adapt to climate change impacts that are now unavoidable.

Decarbonisation and air pollution: how do we achieve cleaner air for all?

The increased costs of oil and gas production are seeing global energy majors build production and refining capability closer to new sources of oil and gas in Africa’s fast-growing emerging and frontier markets. Change has been rapid and widespread and recently, a host of new finds across Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal, Mauritania, Tanzania and Uganda have significantly boosted sub-Saharan Africa’s traditional upstream players. Exploration is also continuing in a number of other prospects. This has transformed the continent’s energy outlook and its relevance to global energy markets, especially in East Asia.

Oil and natural gas have been a key part of the Russian economy for decades and are extremely important for Russia’s future economic development. As a huge gas player with large onshore fields attached to existing infrastructure, as well as being geographically situated between the giant markets of Asia and Europe, how will the Russian oil and gas market evolve going forward?

The Caspian region lies in a geographically strategic place, connecting Central Asia to Europe and Russia to the Middle East. The Caspian region is one of the oldest oil-producing areas in the world and is an increasingly important source of global energy production. There are significant oil and natural gas reserves from both offshore deposits in the Caspian Sea itself, as well as onshore fields in the region.

As the downstream fuel supply chain becomes increasingly complex, oil and gas companies are held accountable for assuring fuel quality from the terminal to the retail site. So how can companies protect their revenue, brand reputation and customers, and thrive in supply and distribution chain complexity?

The Middle East energy summit:
the outlook for the Middle East
industry in 100 MLN/BBL a day
world

Thursday 28th February

Global supplies are expected to top 100 million barrels per day by the end of 2018, with the IEA maintaining its forecast of strong global oil demand growth of 1.3 million bpd in 2018, and 1.6 million bpd in 2019.
Demand will continue to remain strong as new players enter the equation and chinks in the oil production chain continue to hamper international production.
In a 100 million barrel a day world, the Middle East has a critical role to play as both a demand and supply hub - but whether the region will take a leading role or sails through the big changes of 2019 as a passenger, remains to be answered – this summit will attempt to provide some answers.

The digital revolution: the next frontier for digital technologies in oil and gas

Thursday 28th February

For many oil and gas companies, technology is fundamental way to unlock future profitability. Advancement in technologies, the falling cost of digitalisation, and the ever-widening connectivity of devices provides real competition and opportunities for upstream oil and gas companies to boost efficiency globally, whilst also taking advantage of further cost reduction and increased productivity.
